Assignment: Reflection on the Impact of the TV Series Adolescence on Personal Perspectives

Dear students,

As we will not meet next week, I am assigning this task for you to complete in the meantime. After watching the Netflix series Adolescence, I would like you to write a reflective essay in English, exploring how the series has impacted you personally and intellectually. In your reflection, please address the following points:

1. Personal Impact: Reflect on how the series influenced your understanding of adolescent issues, such as mental health, identity formation, peer relationships, and social pressures. Did it challenge or reinforce any of your previous perspectives on these topics?

2. Insights and Learning: What insights did you gain from the characters’ experiences or the societal issues depicted in the show? How did the series contribute to your understanding of the social dynamics at play during adolescence?

3. Relevance to Social Pathology: In light of your studies in social pathology and prevention, discuss how the themes of the series relate to the theoretical concepts you have learned. Which aspects of the show highlight significant social problems or pathology, and what preventive measures could be considered based on the events portrayed?

Your essay should be 1-2 pages long and demonstrate thoughtful reflection. Be sure to articulate your personal thoughts clearly and support your analysis with specific examples from the series.

Please submit your work by 11th of April.
